SPEAKER BOEHNER THANKS PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR CANTOR’S DEFEAT

Leave a comment

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Is the Washington gridlock finally coming to an end?

In his first public comment on the primary election defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Speaker John Boehner thanked President Obama for his invaluable role in the victory of Tea Party-backed candidate Dave Brat.  Brat defeated incumbent Cantor in last week’s GOP primary elections in Virginia’s 7th congressional district.

In an unusual conciliatory tone, Boehner told reporters: “You have to understand, the American people are being squeezed by Obama’s policies. The economy is not growing. Incomes aren’t growing. We’re not creating enough jobs. And two-thirds of America have seen no increase in their wages but their food prices are going up, their gas prices are going up, and their health insurance prices are going up. And so there’s a lot of frustration that’s out there, and they look to Washington, and wonder why we can’t resolve these issues. And they’re hard to resolve when you’ve got a president who won’t engage.”

The teary-eyed Boehner concluded: “So, thank you, Mr. President. You have opened our eyes.  I look forward to working with you more closely in the final years of your presidency.”

End of gridlock.

TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY ADMITS HE HAS THE HOMOSEXUAL GENES

Leave a comment

imageSan Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Texas Governor and former presidential candidate Rick Perry has just endeared himself to the homosexual community.

In a speech before members of the Commonweath Club of California, Perry admitted that in the same way he has the genetic makeup to become an alcoholic, he also has the genes to become a latent homosexual. Perry’s comments all but confirm his belief that the gay lifestyle is not a choice.

“I (may) have the genetic coding (that I’m inclined) to be an alcoholic, but (and) I have the desire  not  to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way,” Perry said in his San Francisco speech. The governor however refused to reveal a timeline in which he will act upon his gay genes.

The Log Cabin Republicans, the lgbt group within the GOP, immediately praised Perry and vowed to fully endorse his candidacy should he decide again to run for president in 2016.

The San Francisco Pride Committee convened an emergency meeting last night and unanimously voted to make Perry an honorary grand marshall at this month’s pride parade and celebration.

SHAMED BY FIFA’S WORLD CUP: BASEBALL’S ‘WORLD SERIES’ TO BE RENAMED ‘AMERICAN SERIES’

Leave a comment

imagesNew York, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB) played since 1903 between the American League (AL) and National League (NL) team champions.  A total of 109 series have been contested, with AL winning 63 and NL winning 46.  The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff in the fall.

But people have always wondered why it is called ‘World Series’ since it only involves American teams — all U.S.-based except for the Toronto (Canada) Jays.

In contrast, the FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by senior men’s national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the sport’s global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War.  A total of 32 teams from all over the world compete for the much-coveted title.

Facing continued criticism for being  “elitist, arrogant and colonialist” both the AL and NL have finally agreed today in New York to put the label “World Series” to rest.  Beginning with the 2014 season, the playoffs will be called “The American Series” to better reflect the teams participating in the tournament.

As expected, the Toronto Jays protested the move, proposing instead that the tournament be called “The North American Series.”  The proposal was, of course, overruled by the arrogant representatives of the  U.S-based teams.  Because of this, the Jays have threatened to boycott the 2014 World Series , errr… The American Series.

The current title is held by the Boston Red Sox.
